Easter is coming, and we would love to see you here at Kilminorth! The spring is a beautiful time to visit our cottages, with flowers blossoming in the woodlands, the Cornish landscape turning green, and the warm morning sunshine greeting you as you set out for a family day full of adventure. During the holidays, we also have an eggcellent Easter egg hunt across our historic site for all to enjoy, and children will receive an Easter activity book to entertain them during their stay. 

Our cottages, which are just outside of Looe, are the perfect base from which to explore the local area, and along with our Easter hunt, there are plenty of other activities to enjoy during your visit.
